In particular, It? safe to say that the interest in the intangible cultural heritage is the recently international flow. And, the interest of non-Western countries in the intangible cultural heritage is higher than the Western countries. This study carried out the research on protection policies for intangible cultural heritages of Korea and China, which is multiracial. Korea? protection policy for intangible cultural properties was arranged the legal and institutional foundation as「Cultural Properties Protection Act」had been enacted in 1962.
